Thank God George W. Bush is President (continued)

Thank God for GOP-enhanced "homeland security" so another 9/11 can't and won't happen, that planes can't just fly all over Manhattan and then fly right into buildings:

A single-engine airplane owned by Yankees pitcher Cory Lidle sputtered out of the hazy skies and slammed into the side of an exclusive Manhattan apartment tower Wednesday, killing Lidle and a flight instructor but miraculously leaving no one in the building seriously hurt.

The plane, a Cirrus SR20 registered to Lidle, 34, took off from Teterboro Airport in New Jersey at 2:29 p.m. without filing a flight plan, officials said. A flight plan was not required, however. After circling the Statue of Liberty, it headed north up the East River, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said in an evening news conference. It disappeared from radar near the Queensboro Bridge and a 911 call about the crash was logged at 2:42 p.m., Bloomberg said.

It's amazing or, rather, typical of the water-carrying nature of modern Big Media journalism that a huge noise isn't being made about this obvious failure of the nation's leadership.

Here the situation is for dummies:

5 years after planes were flown into the World Trade Center on 9/11...

...a plane freely flew over Manhattan...

...eventually flying into a building.

That it did so accidentally as opposed to intentionally is irrelevant.

And the coverage is a joke; the emphasis is on a dead ballplayer, not on, well, the Goddam security breach.

No problem accepting tabloid and the low-end media spinning it that way but the Times? WTF???
